Well we got some news today that made me very angry! My brother went out to visit Landon's grave, and already someone has stolen stuff from his grave!! The angel stake was stolen, and a stuffed bear that came from one of the flower arrangements that was sent to his funeral (the one the Blue Ridge spouses sent) was also stolen. I don't know how someone could be so cruel and do that to a baby's grave, especially when it is so new... its still dirt, grass has not even had time to grow there, and his permanent headstone is not even there yet!! We ordered his angel stake online, and had it personalized. It comes with one side of a heart that says In Loving Memory, but on the other side we had it engraved with "We Love You, Mommy & Daddy". So tomorrow my family is going to go look at all the other graves, and see if they can find it. Whoever stole it probably does not know it was personalized, they probably thought it just came like that. And if they find out who took it, I am going to find those people and have a talk with them myself!! Whoever did this to Landon's grave is selfish and evil. I feel like they violated my baby's grave, and it makes me want to cry. In the end these ugly people will get what they deserve, karma has a way of catching up to these kind of people!!!

That is crazy!! I can't believe someone would/could do that.
That is horrible, what jerks whether they knew it was personalized or not you just don't do that. I will go put a new teddy there for him this week.
Hi Erin and Carlos, as upsetting as this is,unfortunately this is something that you learn when your child dies. When my son, Stephen, died, I learned very quickly not to take anything that I could not bare to loose or I took things that had his name on them. People seem to leave things alone that have a name on them. I also took his picture and a poem of him so that people coming up to the grave would know who he was. When you make it personal, it seems to make a difference. Unfortunately, these things will happen and still do, but I have to tell myself that those who take them are obviously in a lot worse shape than we are and they need our prayers more than our time being angry (I still get upset and it is 17 yrs. since he died). Know that you are always in my thoughts and prayers and if you want to commiserate please feel free to e-mail. Your mom (Carla) has my e-mail address. Hang in there and lots of love to you both, Mary Ellen (St. Louis)
Carlos and Erin,
I am so sorry to hear that someone has violated Landon's grave site. It's very upsetting to think that someone could behave in such a disrespectful way. Have you spoken to the cemetary representatives?

PS. I am glad to hear that you both have made it back to Japan safely.
